It doesn't anymore, indeed.  It was used in the SpSVG extension back in
v0.47, but at least in 0.91 it already wasn't used anymore.

Yes, I'll do so, thank you for reporting!

I'm sure there was some very deep reason back then, but I have no clue
now! :P
I'll see about listing them all, indeed :)

Hi.

I've just wondered whether inkscape still makes use of libxml-xql-perl?

The shadow effect seems to work without it (at least the one I found),
also I couldn't find any ocurrance of XML::XQL within the source package.

So perhaps one can drop the Suggests?


Cheers,
Chris.
